What is a Mail Form and what is it used for ?

We use personalized mail to send tailored marketing information to target groups or to lists of marketing prospects.
SAP has provided a tool to create personalized mail called Mail Forms.

You can use a mail form to send the following:

• Internet mail
• Fax
• Short message service (SMS)
• create lists of business partners (from specified target groups) and their attribute values at the time that the list is created.

3. . Click on to create a new Mail Form

The attribute context for ERMS mail forms should always be ’Email Response Management’, otherwise the ERMS related attributes will not be
available for the mail form.
